THE NATURAL MUSICAL ALPHABETS
A B C D E F G SHARPS & FLATS Sharps are a half-step up from a natural note. For instance, a half-step above A is A#.
The BC & EF Rule All natural notes have sharps and flats between them except BC and EF. Stepping up from B leads you to C. Stepping down from F leads to E.

Where To Start? You might be tempted to start learning the fretboard from notes C, or A… but I find that the easy way to learn is in this order:
EDCFGAB
Start Learning With 'E's

Continue With 'D's
Fretboard with D and E notes You can use the open 4th string to give you a reference for the D sound when you practice finding your D's across the neck.
Move to 'C's It is logical to move next to the note close to D, which is C. Again, it should be very easy to find C's once you know your Ds (just move down 2 more frets).

Learning other notes on the fretboard Once you have E's, D's, and C's down things should start falling into place more quickly. I’d suggest you move to F next:

Then Add G's

Then A's

And finally B's
